That train looks like it's made of Italian Villas.
All those train fanatics who nitpick minor details, have at this one! XD

I was just about to say the same thing. This one must have a stop at Minitalia at least!
For as simple as it is, at least the locomotive and 1st car have functioning garden gates! Try that in any modern train!
Impressive set considering a Speed Champion set of today like 30434 has more pieces.

Granted, having three single piece train bases complete with wheels and couplers does help quite a bit. And good luck cramming those three pieces into a single polybag....
That said, I only now noticed these are only 6x12, not the 6x16 I have a couple of myself. Never knew they had those in different sizes.
Looks like the sort of train you would see at an amusement park or in a mall for the kiddies to ride around in.
